I have visually inspected code produced and verified this change to boot
with TCP networking performing just fine, both with a 32-bit and a 64-bit

course of this verification I have discovered the core card of my Malta
board bit the dust a few days ago, apparently in a permanent manner, and I
have no other big-endian MIPS system available here to try.
How about QEMU is not that a viable option for testing big/little endian
configurations?
Yeah, for this particular change, sure. I don't have QEMU set up however
at the moment and would have to take some time to sort it, and it won't do
for peripherals it doesn't implement. The failure is a fresh problem and
I yet need to figure out what to do about it. A bad coincidence I guess
as I have MIPS hardware 10 years older that still goes strong.
